Inroducion Chaper 14: Dynamic D-S dynamic model of aggregae and aggregae supply gives us more insigh ino how he economy works in he shor run. I is a simplified version of a DSGE model, used in cuing-edge macroeconomic research. DSGE = Dynamic, Sochasic, General Equilibrium) 0 1 Inroducion dynamic model of aggregae and aggregae supply is buil from familiar conceps, such as: he IS curve, which negaively relaes he real ineres rae and for goods & services he Phillips curve, which relaes inflaion o he gap beween oupu and is naural level, expeced inflaion, and supply shocks adapive expecaions, a simple model of inflaion expecaions How he dynamic D-S model is differen from he sandard model Insead of fixing he money supply, he cenral bank follows a moneary policy rule ha adjuss ineres raes when oupu or inflaion change. verical axis of he DD-DS diagram measures he inflaion rae, no he price level. Subsequen ime periods are linked ogeher: Changes in inflaion in one period aler expecaions of fuure inflaion, which changes aggregae supply in fuure periods, which furher alers inflaion and inflaion expecaions. 3 Keeping rack of ime model s elemens subscrip denoes he ime period, e.g. = real GDP in period -1 = real GDP in period 1 +1 = real GDP in period + 1 We can hink of ime periods as years. E.g., if = 008, hen = 008 = real GDP in 008-1 = 007 = real GDP in 007 +1 = 009 = real GDP in 009 model has five equaions and five endogenous variables: oupu, inflaion, he real ineres rae, he ineres rae, and expeced inflaion. equaions may use differen noaion, bu hey are concepually similar o hings you ve already learned. firs equaion is for oupu 4 5 1

Oupu variabiliy vs. inflaion variabiliy supply shock reduces oupu bad) and raises inflaion also bad). cenral bank faces a radeoff beween hese bads i can reduce he effec on oupu, bu only by oleraing i an increase in he effec on inflaion. 44 Oupu variabiliy vs. inflaion variabiliy 1 CSE 1: θ is large, θ is small supply shock In his case, a shifs DS up. small change in DS inflaion has a large effec on DS 1 oupu, so DD is relaively fla. 1 DD 1, shock has a large effec on oupu, bu a small effec on inflaion. 45 Oupu variabiliy vs. inflaion variabiliy 1 CSE : θ is small, θ is large 1 DS DD 1, DS 1 In his case, a large change in inflaion has only a small effec on oupu, so DD is relaively seep. Now, he shock has only a small effec on oupu, bu a big effec on inflaion. 46 Taylor Principle Taylor Principle named afer John Taylor): proposiion ha a cenral bank should respond o an increase in inflaion wih an even greaer increase in he ineres rae so ha he real ineres rae rises). I.e., cenral bank should se θ > 0. Oherwise, DD will slope upward, economy may be unsable, and inflaion may spiral ou of conrol. 47 8

DD has a posiive slope. 49 Taylor Principle If DD is upward-sloping and seeper han DS, hen he economy is unsable: oupu will no reurn o is naural level, and inflaion will spiral upward for posiive shocks) or downward for negaive ones). Esimaes of θ from published research: θ = 0.14 from 1960-78, before Paul Volcker became Fed chairman. Inflaion was high during his ime, especially during he 1970s. θ = 0.7 during he Volcker and Greenspan years. Inflaion was much lower during hese years. 50 Chaper Summary DD-DS model combines five relaionships: an IS-curve-like equaion of he goods marke, he Fisher equaion, a Phillips curve equaion, an equaion for expeced inflaion, and a moneary policy rule. long-run equilibrium of he model is classical. Oupu and he real ineres rae are a heir naural levels, independen of moneary policy. cenral bank s inflaion arge deermines inflaion, expeced inflaion, and he ineres rae. Chaper Summary DD-DS model can be used o deermine he immediae impac of any shock on he economy, and can be used o race ou he effecs of he shock over ime. parameers of he moneary policy rule influence he slope of he DS curve, so hey deermine wheher a supply shock has a greaer effec on oupu or inflaion. Thus, he cenral bank faces a radeoff beween oupu variabiliy and inflaion variabiliy. Chaper Summary DD-DS model assumes ha he Taylor Principle holds, i.e. ha he cenral bank responds o an increase in inflaion by raising he real ineres rae. Oherwise, he economy may become unsable and inflaion may spiral ou of conrol. 9
